in thread How to slice complicated string into an array

Yes, that is csv and I should have mentioned it. That module is not part of distribution (at least to the perl I have) which would limit the script usability in our environment. But thank you for the pointer.

    As a core module Text::ParseWords is convenient for simple cases.

    # perl
use strict;
use Text::ParseWords;
use Data::Dumper;

my $str = '"word1",word2,"word3,word4"';
my @words = quotewords(',', 0, $str);
print Dumper \@words;
